Dear Friend and Reader:
Today’s lunar eclipse at 5:16 pm EDT brings the 2008 eclipse season to an end. I think that today’s lunation, also the Aquarius Full Moon, gets the gold medal by 1/100th of a second.

PS, Lately I’ve been creating an art and writing space called Book of Blue.
This raises a good point, as Mars is currently squaring that axis; in other words that Mars at 27+ (today at 28+) is square everything at 28+ in the variety of charts I’ve described. Ceres is also in the territory, at exactly 29 even Cancer as I write. The question is what is this about. From my experience in the game at various levels, I can tell you that politics is a game that takes place about 97% behind the scenes, and most of what is released to the public is sent up as a distortion to conceal the rest. So you don’t ever really get an accurate 3%. We can have all the C-Span we want; we don’t see the deals being made, we don’t sit there in the committee rooms or at what’s his name’s restaurant where the ideas bubble to the surface. We may know a little more when Mars reaches the Aries Point (ingresses Cancer) tomorrow or so.
It looks like the Mars/Pluto square draws exact with Gemini rising very close to 27 degrees. I wonder if this is in some way resonant with your observations about the 9/11-Tsunami-DNC moon.
